Production
The old, Gobelet-trained, Monastrell vines grow on a 2.6 hectare plot at the Lloma Rasa estate, 550 metres above sea level. The soil is shallow, poor white chalk (almost albariza). The grapes are harvested into 18kg crates, and cold stored (at 8ºC) for 36 hours before alcoholic fermentation and maceration. This takes place with 40% of the stems, at 26ºC, in 500 litre oak casks for 43 days with gentle pigeage. The wine then spends 10 months in 600 litre French oak before bottling and release.

Meet the producer
Can’ Leandro was founded at the start of 2013 by Gabriel and Alberto Sanchis Mestre, transforming their family wine business to one focused on bottling their own wines from the local, traditional varieties. Situated near Ontinyent – a town mid-way between Valencia and Murcia, and 50km from the coast - they craft authentic wines with a modern profile from old Monastrell, Merseguera and Bonicaire vineyards that they have rejuvenated.
